No sheep or goats, but saw a rainbow on our evening walk. I'm taking this picture from our driveway; Rich's car is in the bottom left corner. The blue sky was brief. It's raining now. I'm giving up on winter obedience training at the club. Too rainy for 2 weeks; too windy and cold last night. Hope Rx doesn't regress too much on his exercises. Shouldn't complain; I know that we're missing a hot summer in NM. We did find out that Prime TV carries the Olympics, although just the highlights, and focuses on the New Zealand teams. However, we only get that channel intermittently. We play with the squeaky rabbit ears and sometimes see the event through the TV snow. We're supposed to be able to tune the TV to channel 5, but like the heater in the lounge, there are no instructions for the TV or remote, and all I accomplished today was moving the Maori channel from one button to another. Waiting for Natalie (rental agent).
Vegemite is made in Australia. Marmite was being made in Christchurch, but the factory closed due to earthquake damage. I hear that Kiwis will pay a lot for an unopened jar of Sanitarium Marmite. Recently heard the Down Under song (recorded by the Australian rock group Men at Work). One of the verses refers to Vegemite sandwiches. Listen on YouTube; you'll recognize the music. Talking about food, today I had a new flavor of Griffen's biscuit, popular Melting Moments. Some boycott the products due to the use of palm oil.
